Yes, thank you. It's my understanding that the people who are receiving out-of-territory services have a level of needs that can't be met in-territory. It's not a lack of beds. It's a lack of expertise to provide the level of care that some of the -- that these clients need. So the long-term care admissions are sorted out by the territorial admissions committee, which includes health professionals and a member of the public, and they look at the distribution of beds available and who needs them and makes recommendations on that basis. The admissions to out-of-territory care are not handled that way. But maybe I'll ask the deputy minister to provide some detail about how those referrals are made. Thank you.
